Muhammad Badaru of Jigawa State says he has no plans to contest the 2019 presidential election. Badaru also disowned and disassociated himself from a group supporting him to run for the office of President in the 2019 general elections. The governor made his position known in a statement issued on Saturday in Dutse by his media aide, Malam Bello Zaki. “The attention of the Jigawa State Government has been drawn to a mischievous paid newspaper advertisement purported to have been made by a faceless and unknown organisation called `Muhammadu Badaru Abubakar for President Support Group’, which purportedly aimed its support to the recent comments by former President Obsanjo.
